Song Jing was able to verify the details of such a simple case in half a day.
Emperor Chen avoided seeing the two of them because he was waiting for the results of the investigation. He had just read Song Jingwei's memorial and found out that the woman in the back house who showed Lian Suisui the way was not a servant of the Qin family, but a distant relative of Princess Cheng's maid. Relatives sneaked into the Qin family through Mrs. Qin's birthday party.
Regardless of whether Princess Cheng did this or not, this act alone made people think a lot.
Someone also saw Weng Ling'er taking Lian Xiaoxiao away, and Lian Xiaoxiao identified the mother-in-law who beat her as the nanny next to Princess Cheng.
So much evidence pointed to Weng Ling'er, but she refused to admit that she beat Lian Suisui.
Song Jing was so bold that he tortured the mother-in-law beside Princess Cheng, who bit her to death and refused to admit it... However, the imperial doctor also sent Lian Suisui's pulse and injury records, and she was indeed seriously injured. trauma.
Both families are now suffering. Mr. Wengge has always been in the palace and does not know the situation outside. After leaving the palace today, looking back, will he backhandedly impeach Song Jingwei?
"Who doesn't know that Song Jingwei came from Yongding Bo's Mansion? What is the relationship between Yongding Bo's Mansion and your Qin family?" Mr. Wengge retorted, "Dali Temple should not be involved in this matter. It involves the female family members of the back house, so they should be invited The Queen Mother takes the initiative."
"The Queen Mother was in your residence at that time, and it was your Qin family who had to go to the Emperor to make trouble, forcing the Queen Mother to stop intervening in this matter in order to avoid suspicion. What did your Qin family have in mind?"
A scholar's mouth can turn black into white. Qin Boyan knew that he was no match for him in a quarrel, so he took a step back and aimed at Emperor Chen.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song suggested to Mr. Wengge's wife at that time that if they felt it was unfair, they could ask the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate in handling the case. We have a clear conscience about this matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is behind the scenes!"
Whether Weng Ling'er used his identity to bully Lian Suisui, or whether Lian Suisui was dissatisfied with his position as concubine and deliberately framed Weng Ling'er, those who don't know the inside story can speculate.
In the past, everyone had the same attitude when it came to matters related to Lian Suisui. They were watching the excitement, and it was probably because Miss Lian San had done something else.
Nowadays, some people say good things for Lian Suisui, and some people stand up for Lian Suisui.
Except for the Yongding House, the eldest princess Huirong also wrote a letter to speak for Lian Suisui. The other families did not express their position. This was also because Weng Ling'er was the princess. Once Weng Ling'er was found guilty, the royal family would not look good.
Moreover, the play between women would not involve the court. Emperor Chen wanted to make the big matter a trivial one.
"Mr. Ge is old, please bring a chair."
As soon as Emperor Chen opened his mouth, Qin Boyan knew who he was looking at.
"Old minister, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."
The night in July was not very hot, but Mr. Wengge took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at Qin Boyan during the break.
Qin Boyan was a decisive general on the battlefield. He did not understand or disdain the intrigues among literati, and directly made demands to Emperor Chen.
"Your Majesty, our Qin family needs an explanation for this matter!"
You can't let others come to your home to commit murder and then walk away. The Qin family will have to bear a bad reputation. That would be so useless!
This is where the embarrassment lies. One side must not make a big fuss, while the other side must explain the situation.
Emperor Chen said with a headache: "What happened today, I know Qin Aiqing has been wronged..."
Qin Boyan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said: "I am not aggrieved. The one who was aggrieved was my nephew. I came to a banquet and was beaten to the last breath in my home. Your Majesty, I am my nephew." , I can’t explain it to my sister!”
Emperor Chen's words of mediation were blocked by him.
"The main source of suffering in this matter is the Lian family. Even Aiqing hasn't spoken yet. You..."
"Your Majesty, the person was injured in the Qin family. Even if someone else was injured, I would come forward. Is it possible to have an informant among the servants of the Qin family to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I sincerely request the three departments to review it together!"
Wengge Lao jumped up in anger.
"Qin Boyan, I warn you, don't dare to threaten the emperor just because you won the battle!"
How big of a deal did he want to say, how dare a common man like Qin Boyan dare to interrogate the matter? Isn't this just trampling the face of their Weng family to the ground?
How dare he!
Qin Boyan ignored Emperor Chen's downcast expression and faced Mr. Wengge.
"I just want to seek justice for my niece!"
However, some people want to use their power to suppress others. Not only do they not want to give him justice, they even want to maintain their own face and make his niece bear a bad name. In just half a day, there are rumors everywhere that Lian Suisui wants to bring down Princess Cheng. , he did not hesitate to set up a trap to slander the princess...
They did evil things but were unwilling to admit their mistakes or bear the consequences. Why didn't he dare to make things worse?
Let the people of the world judge who is right and who is wrong in this matter!
Just one Song Jingwei is enough to cause a headache, but if the other two yamen are added to it, there will be no way to end this matter.
After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Chen said to Mr. Wengge: "Mr. Ge, this matter is just a joke at my daughter's house, so it won't cause a storm in the city. We all serve as officials in the same court, so there is no need to quarrel. I suggest that you two sit down and discuss it carefully..."
Emperor Chen took a step back, and Mr. Wengge had no choice but to take a step back.
A warrior's mind is not good at turning around. If Qin Boyan is really annoyed, who knows what he can do!
"There may be a misunderstanding in this matter..."
Qin Boyan chuckled in his heart, his family has suffered so much every year, and they want to expose a misunderstanding?
But Emperor Chen's attitude was clear. He didn't want this matter to become a big deal, but the Qin family didn't want to suffer this loss either.
"Your Majesty, I am concerned about my niece's injury. It is getting late today, so I will leave first. As for any misunderstandings, Suisui has been living in my house. Mr. Ge will investigate clearly and can come to explain at any time."
Emperor Chen nodded and finally sent one away, hoping he would leave quickly.
"You..." Wengge was so old-fashioned that he could only scold him behind his back, "You arrogant warrior!"
Emperor Chen still had to appease him.
"I believe that Princess Cheng will not do such a thing for nothing. She will investigate the matter thoroughly and give justice to Princess Cheng. Elder Ge is old, so don't be angry with yourself."
Mr. Wengge knew that Emperor Chen was looking toward him in his heart, so he took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
"I have caused trouble to the Emperor today. Alas, the old minister also resigned."
it is more than words.
"Here, send Mr. Wengge to see you."
The chamberlain helped Mr. Wengge cross the steps.
Emperor Chen rubbed his eyebrows and ordered: "Go and call King Cheng."
…
At the harem's virtuous concubine's house, Weng Ling'er cried so hard that she felt so pitiful.
"You have always been prudent in your work. Cheng'er and I have always been satisfied with you as the princess. Why are you so careless today that you dare to run wild in the Qin family?"
Concubine Xian finally comforted Mrs. Weng, and after sending Mrs. Weng out of the palace, she turned around and scolded Weng Ling'er.
"Lian Suisui is just a concubine. Even if she marries the princess, what threat will it pose to you? You can't even tolerate her?"
Concubine Xian was so angry that she said mercilessly, "Even if we have to deal with her, after she comes over, you, the principal concubine, have so many excuses, why did you choose to embarrass Lian Suisui on the day when the old lady of the Qin family is celebrating her birthday? "
"Are you a pig brain?"
Weng Ling'er just cried but didn't speak.
What could she say?
That she doesn't mind Lian Suisui marrying King Cheng at all? Are you saying that her revenge on Lian Suisui was just because of her entanglement with Mr. Du?
Does a person like her deserve to care about Mr. Du?
